Ribosome is an intracellular ribonucleoprotein particle that serves as the site of protein biosynthesis. Ribosomal dysfunction caused by mutations in genes encoding ribosomal proteins (RPs) and ribosome biogenesis factors (RBFs) can lead to a spectrum of diseases, collectively known as ribosomopathy. Phase separation is a thermodynamic process that produces multiple phases from a homogeneous mixture. The formation of membraneless organelles and intracellular structures, including ribosomes and nucleoli, cannot occur without the involvement of phase separation. Here, ribosome structure, biogenesis, and their relationship with ribosomopathy are systematically reviewed. The tissue specificity of ribosomopathy and the role of phase separation in ribosomopathy are particularly discussed, which may offer some clues for understanding the mechanisms of ribosomopathy. Then, some new ideas for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of ribosomopathy are provided.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Ureaplasma urealyticum GrpE ( Uu-GrpE) on the maturation of dendritic cells and the polarization of T cells. Methods:Uu-GrpE was expressed and purified, and then identified by Western blot. The cytotoxicity of Uu-GrpE to mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) was analyzed by LDH kit. After stimulating BMDCs with Uu-GrpE, the expression of costimulatory molecules, CD80, CD86 and major histocompatibility complex Ⅱ (MHCⅡ), on the surface of BMDCs was detected by flow cytometry, and ELISA was used to detect the cytokines such as IL-12p70, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. CD4 + Na?ve T cells were isolated from mouse spleen tissues by magnetic beads. A co-culture system of BMDCs and Na?ve T cells was constructed to analyze the effects of GrpE-stimulated mature BMDCs (GrpE-BMDCs) on T cell proliferation and polarization towards Th1/Th2. Mice were immunized with GrpE-BMDCs through the tail vein, and the induced humoral and cellular immune responses were detected by ELISA and flow cytometry. Results:Uu-GrpE was successfully express and high purity BMDCs were isolated. Uu-GrpE could stimulate BMDCs to secrete cytokines such as IL-12p70, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 without having cytotoxicity. Uu-GrpE significantly increased the expression of CD80 [mean flourscence indensity (MFI): (324.00±22.11) vs (91.03±10.95), P<0.01], CD86 [MFI: (1 176.00±51.39) vs (217.00±14.93), P<0.01] and MHCⅡ [MFI: (708.70±56.32) vs (185.70±16.77), P<0.01] on BMDCs. Compared to the GrpE-BMDCs only group and GrpE (boiled)-BMDCs+ T cell group, the GrpE-BMDCs+ T cell group showed significantly increased T cell proliferation [stimulation index: (7.25±0.21) vs(6.55±0.23) and (6.09±0.35), both P<0.05], and dramatically promoted T cell secretion of IL-2 and IFN-γ [IL-2: (145.60±14.67) pg/ml vs(55.92±3.12) pg/ml and (26.05±2.40) pg/ml, P<0.05 and P<0.01; IFN-γ: (267.20±37.80) pg/ml vs(146.70±20.65) pg/ml and(27.84±6.69) pg/ml, both P<0.05]. However, no significant change was observed in the expression of Th2-type cytokines. Moreover, the adoptive transfer of GrpE-BMDCs induced a Th1-type immune response. Conclusions:Uu-GrpE could stimulate the maturation and polarization of BMDCs. Moreover, it could induce Th1 immune response as a candidate protein vaccine for Ureaplasma urealyticum.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the rationality of TLC identification method (3) of (R,S)-epigoitrin in Isatis indigotica stated in 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopeia (partⅠ) (later abbreviated as pharmacopeia), and make some improvements. METHODS: Three batches I. indigotica were collected and prepared into decoction pieces according to the processing method of I. indigotica in pharmacopoeia. TLC identification of (R,S)-goitrin in I. indigotica decoction piece and medicinal material were conducted according to identification method (3) in pharmacopeia (80% ethanol as solvent for sample treatment, ultrasound extraction); the rationality of pharmacopoeia method was investigated. Then the method was improved by changing the extraction solvent and pretreatment method (method one: using water as solvent, ultrasound extraction; method two: soaking in water for 1 h, then adding into methanol, ultrasound extraction; method three: the sample was wetted and then dried, using 80% methanol as solvent, ultrasound extraction) of samples, and the optimal method was verified. According to the optimal method, the TLC identification of (R,S)-goitrin was detected by using chromatographic plates from different manufacturers, under the conditions of low temperature and low humidity (7 ℃, relative humidity 48%) and high temperature and high humidity (35 ℃, relative humidity 75%) respectively,to investigate the durability of the method. RESULTS: According to the method of pharmacopeia, in the chromatograms of decoction pieces, the same color spots appeared at the corresponding chromatographic positions of reference substance, but no corresponding spots appeared in the medicinal material chromatograms. After the samples were treated by three improvement methods, in medicinal material chromatograms, the same color spots appeared in the corresponding chromatographic positions of reference substances. There were single chromatographic spot after medicinal materials were treated with method one, and there were more spots after medicinal materials were treated with method two and three, and method two consumed less time than method three. The results of validation tests and method durability tests showed that after the treatment of I. indigotica and its decoction pieces according to method two, the same color spots appeared in the corresponding positions of the decoction pieces and the medicinal materials chromatograms as those of the control. CONCLUSIONS: The improved TLC identification method is effective, the chromatographic spots are clear, and the repeatability is good.
